Clever soccer maniac handcuffs himself to goalpost

Perhaps he was a protestor. Perhaps he has a kinky relationship with soccer goals.

Whatever the motivation, the guy who handcuffed himself to a post during an English Premier League game is certainly an original. As the play-by-play man in the clip above observes, "Just when you think you've seen everything in the football world, something like this comes along."

The fan's stunt stopped play for several minutes, during which he was berated by players, officials and fans. Maybe the delay threw off Manchester City, the favorite, which fell to Everton, 1-0.
